I’d resurrect the dead by simulating perfect copies of them. Now no one ever has to say goodbye ever again 😊
I mean… conversations with Einstein, DaVinci, heck… not even dead people. With Obama! Eminem! @queermunist!
I’d totally simulate myself. As far as I’m concerned, a copy of myself is as legitimately “me” as my flesh. There’s nothing that makes the simulated @queermunist less real than the one that works for a living making car parts.
We’d probably fight constantly, it’d be great lol
I’d upload everyone. I’d also give them something for their trouble, since apparently all religious people and all hardcore atheists hate the sci-fi story I wrote where humanity’s descendants resurrect everyone who ever died that was ever part of the Homo genus; the body their heart truly desires would be their VR avatar, though with delicious ironic caveats because if what your heart truly desires is money or power or fame over all other aspects, and that’s been detrimental to others, deserves to be trapped as a virtual solid gold statue or somesuch forever for being a selfish fuck.
Basically, what if heaven and hell were not places, but literally whether being your true self truly makes you happy? That hell is if you needed to rethink your shallow, fake or otherwise hollow-feeling lifestyle but didn’t do so soon enough and now you’re stuck looking and feeling like what you slowly come to hate about yourself or at least who you were when you died.
One time I had a conversation with God. Or a homeless guy claiming to be God. We talked about his plans to move humanity to another planet. It was kinda weird.
He also told me he likes to take human form and fuck mortal women. He told me he didn’t feel guilt, shame, or empathy.
It was kind of disturbing, because he knew things about me nobody can know. And somehow, while we ate beef stroganoff over spaghetti at a homeless shelter, he managed to turn it into seven or eight plates of the stuff.
He said “You’re not touching the spaghetti”. I said “Yeah I try to stay away from wheat. It gives me inflammation.” So he pushed another plate my way and said “You can gave the meat off this one”. He then pushed a few more plates my way, that were just sitting there on the table. I didn’t see them appear or anything. They were just there. But he and I had gone through the line together. We each got one plate.
So he seemed to have some godlike powers, but he also seemed like a bit of a cunt.
What was my point?
Oh right. Toward the end of the conversation he said “Nobody really dies you know. Is there anyone dead you’d like to talk to?”
I thought of my mother, but I felt a sense of horror really deep in my heart and just shook my head.
Computer, determine how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie pop and if any owls try to interfere with the experiment kill them on sight.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
You sure you don’t have the scouter on upside down?
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Probably just run the whole universe backwards through time from its current state until it reaches some unchanging state, and then run it forwards again from the beginning.
In time lapse of course, I am a mortal after all.
Should be able to answer a metric shitton of astrophysics questions, at very least, which do happen to be some of the absolute most-asked and hardest-if-not-impossible-to-conclusively-answer questions in science. Period.
Oh, and I was thinking about this mostly in the realm of biology/psychology/sociology but anything goes.
Perfect simulations? So Laplace’s Demon? I suppose it would be most useful in doing a little bit of viewing the future. If you could call that useful. The existence of Laplace’s Demon basically disproves “free will” and anything viewed in the future would be set in stone and unavoidable. HOWEVER it could also potentially be used as a remote viewing device for any events that have already happened. Period. Yeah let’s see what the dinosaurs actually looked like. Sure we can take a firsthand look at the originating events of any major religion. Yep we can literally view any major crime exactly as it happened.
Depending on who has access to it, personal privacy becomes literally nonexistent.
